Axl Rose Signed Album Page - Encapsulated by Beckett Authentic - Steve Grad Collection

Encapsulated Authentic by Beckett. Steve Grad Collection. Offered is an album page signed by Guns & Roses frontman Axl Rose. Rose has signed and inscribed the page "To Marty, W. Axl Rose Long Live Todd Crew!!!" Crew was the bass player for New York band The Jet Boys, but after parting ways with the band in early 1987, Crew was working as a roadie for Guns & Roses when he overdosed on heroin in Slash's New York hotel room in July of that year. The reference to Crew's passing by Axl on the offered album page most-likely indicates it dates from the late 1980s. The tragic incident haunted Axl, as he recounted in an interview with Rolling Stone: “I didn’t talk to Todd Crew before he went to New York. I felt a massive need to talk to him out of concern for his well-being. But I wasn’t aware enough to realise I didn’t have the time I thought I did. I thought I’d have time later.” The page is also signed on the reverse by bass player Duff McKagan: "To Marty Rock on! Duff Gn'R." Near Mint condition.
